Lyrics

Well the walls are padded and the air is sweet
and the bed is soft and inviting,
and the jukebox here plays my favorite songs
and the nightlife can be exciting.

And if I need someone you're always there,
And you have made my life your own.

And there's lots of candy and there's lots of toys,
we play all my favorite games.
There's a secretary keeping track of my life,
she remembers numbers and names.

But if I want to leave you close the door,
and you convince me I should stay

in the velvet prison that you built for me,
in this happy world of make-believe,
in the velvet prison, in your silken dreams,
you can make me forget I'd ever want to break free.

I already got one mother, got a few good friends,
I got you controlling my life.
We been using each other to our own wicked ends,
and I feel you twisting the knife

in the velvet prison that you built for me,
in this happy world of make-believe,
in the velvet prison, in your silken dreams,
you can make me forget I'd ever want to break free.
